Power Partners Group (PPG) has announced the launch of PT Power Partners Indonesia (PPI), along with the opening of its new office and warehouse facility in West Java on Tuesday, in a move to strengthen their presence in the region.
The new 360 m2 facility, located at Delta Commercial Park 1 (DCP) in Lippo Cikarang, will serve as PPI’s main office in Indonesia, providing integrated system services of standby power that include DRUPS, UPS, STS, Genset, solar systems and prefabrication customized enclosures with BESS. It also serves as a large warehouse for service spare parts and offers after-sales services, maintenance plans, and recommissioning for power equipment.
During the grand opening event yesterday, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed between PPI, Hitec Power Protection, and Samudera Nusantara Energi. This partnership aims to provide innovative and reliable power solutions for businesses in Indonesia, that include the rapidly growing data center industry.
“PT Power Partners Indonesia has already secured a few maintenance contracts for the local data center, like BDx, and we are eager to collaborate further with local partners, like SNE, to create future business opportunities. We firmly believe that working alongside local partners is crucial for understanding the Indonesian market and establishing mutually beneficial relationships,” said Kyoji Terao, Managing Director of Power Partners Group.
“By leveraging the expertise and networks of our local partners, we can gain insights into local regulations, culture, and customer preferences, which are vital for our success. We are actively exploring potential partnerships and remain open to collaborations that align with our vision and values,” he added.
With Indonesia being a top destination for foreign investment, particularly in the power market, PPI is well-positioned to take advantage of the potential growth opportunities in the region.
“We are thrilled to establish our presence in Indonesia and contribute to the growth of the power generation industry in this region. Indonesia is a key market for us, and the new office will enable us to better serve our customers and strengthen our relationships with local partners. Our solutions are designed to help our clients optimize their energy usage and reduce their carbon footprint. We are excited to work with our partners in Indonesia to create a more sustainable energy future,” said Kyoji.
PPI’s country manager, Rheinno Permata Soufyan is committed to providing integrated power generation systems to businesses, including data centers, semiconductors, and government sectors, with a focus on delivering reliable and innovative power solutions to address the most pressing challenges.
According to the Indonesia Investment Coordinating Board, Singapore and Japan are among the top investors in Indonesia, with a total investment of $9.8 billion and $4.5 billion, respectively, in the first quarter of 2022. This underscores the significant potential of Indonesia’s power market, which is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.6% during the forecast period 2023-2028, according to a report by Research And Markets. Factors driving this growth include population growth, urbanization and rising electricity demand. The International Energy Agency also reported that the country’s electricity demand is projected to grow by an average of 6% per year between 2020 and 2030.
As for the data center industry, in a recently released report by Knight Frank, Indonesia is leading the way as the top provider of space and resources for data center investment among the region’s Tier 2 cities. Southeast Asia also remains one of the top picks for global cloud infrastructure, prompting data center operators to invest billions of dollars in the region.
As Indonesia’s power market continues to grow, with rising demand for electricity and an increasing focus on sustainable energy solutions, PPI’s presence in Indonesia and partnership with Hitec Power Protection and Samudera Nusantara Energi is seen as a timely and strategic move in becoming one of the top providers of integrated power generation systems in the region.
